Salvatore Arnoldo

A Puzzle of Mirages

Jain sidestepped through the crumbled ruin, keeping a keen eye peeled for his quarry. He had to be every wary then, being deep in the heart of the Mythic Continent. He held his rifle tight, the stock tucked firmly her his arm, hands steady.

Repetition

Every process
contains cycles that repeat
to sustain oscillations
that maintain life’s momentum.

Looking in the Kaleidoscope

So many crystals fragments shards shells tinsel beads mirrors
cut carefully according to the science of reflection, fitted to a simple tube.
You pick it up. You point it at the light.

Behavioral Patterns

Patterns of my flowing mind,
Colors and shapes that I find.
so many patterns to express,
All this built up kind of stress.

Words that Curl and Curve

Words that curve and curl
from the sea, the tide, dampness,
get into everything. The seaweed
which clings to your calf when you
walk out of the water, the varicose veins
as you return to your land legs.
